About John Ludwig Feaster
"The former villages of Feasterville, Trevose, and Oakford are still known place names, along with the former villages of Siles, Brownsville, and Scottsville, all make up our current township. Pieces of Trevose and Oakford are in Bensalem Township. About the year 1730, John Feaster and his wife, Rachel, came to this country from Holland and settled in Northampton Township on land granted to him by William Penn. Aaron Feaster, a grandson born in 1772, inherited the Northampton property and also owned ground in the vicinity of the Buck Hotel, which was a stage stop-over and polling place. On the opposite corner was the first Post Office and when a name was chosen for the hamlet, it was Aaron Feaster who was honored and not the Postmaster, as the custom had been. "
